Train going over James St. swing bridge

Here is a train going over the ancient James St. (former) swing bridge in Thunder Bay, Ontario. It used to carry Highway 61 over the Kaministiquia River until it was bypassed well to the west. I point out a very old alignment of Hwy 61 (Yonge St) at 2:25 that was bypassed about 80 years ago. The bridge also joins the Fort William First Nation with the City of Thunder Bay. The bridge carries a regulatory speed of 20 km/h and displays warnings from CN that you waive responsibility of any damage to your vehicle. It hasn't swung in many years.
